If we could sit and speak with people from the first century A.D.
The 1st century would be astonished with our knowledge and ability to name the Prefect of Judea. Syria was just an outpost with a suburb. Staggered - at our lack of intimate knowledge of the Roman Emperors of this period. When we think of building projects, we are largely at a loss to know building achievements of the building oriented Roman Empire. Instead, we know the names of fishermen, tax collectors and Jesus. We know the Colosseum was used for the persecution of Christians.
Coin of the Roman Colosseum,
minted with 70 s A.D. gold from Jerusalem.
The wisdom of the wise -
The 1st Century would be completely and utterly astonished at the common knowledge our 21st Century labelled important. The winds of the Spirit create what really remains of History. Even today, in this Anno Domini year of Our Lord.
2 Corinthians 4:18
We look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen.
For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.

The Bible unites people far more than we realize.
We pray more Heaven on earth - few of God's mankind would disagree.
Consider John 14, Jesus is telling the uncertain Disciples about what is important as Jesus still continues with the idea they will eat His Body and drink His Blood. 72 Disciples left over the idea God gets to decide and tell mankind His ideals. Jesus chooses to tells us what He sees is important - His joy of the life God calls good as Jesus approaches His death.
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.
When we see History - we see this:
If you had known me, you would have known my Father also.

Still uniting people.
John 14:6-10
6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life.
No one comes to the Father except through me.
When we see History - we see this:
If you had known me, you would have known my Father also.
From now on you do know Him
and have seen Him.”
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.
9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father.
How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?
The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.
Hebrews 1:2-3
In these last days He has spoken to us by his Son, whom He appointed the heir of all things, through whom also He created the world. 3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of His nature, and He upholds the universe by the word of His power.
After making purification for sins,
He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on High
Leading us to a universal prayer request of God
Romans 12
9 Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good.
Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor.
Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.
Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality.
With the
Gifts of God
given to
All,
Father, we will use our lives
and opportunities
to this.
Thank You, Jesus Lord Christ of God.
Amen.
